CoT MESSAGE: Today, we had some fun while we exercised our bodies. I want to speak just a minute today about personal character. As men, I believe that we are drawn to the Star Wars films because of the heroic traits that the characters portray. In Yoda, we see wisdom. In Luke, we see bravery. In Han Solo, we see fearlessness. In Darth Vader, we see power. All of these traits are ones that we, as men, seek out through different avenues (in positive and negative ways). But all of these traits can be found right here at F3, four days a week (for now). The guys here this morning are a testament to that. We are all here to get better physically, mentally, and spiritually. Just coming out to F3 tells me that you have character. Leading this group is the next step. The more you put into F3, the more you will get out of it.

PRAYER: “Lord, our  Heavenly Father, we thank you for this beautiful morning and the company of these awesome men. We ask for your continued blessings and guidance as our group grows. Lord, please be with us as we seek to build our personal character to improve ourselves, our families, and our community. We ask that you show your presence and bring comfort  to those that need you the most this week and we pray for those less fortunate than ourselves. In the name of our lord and savior Jesus Christ we pray, Amen.”

MOLESKIN: My first Saturday Q was a fun one to create with the Star Wars theme. Enjoyed leading these men and excited to have our 3rd PAX from Mill Creek! The westward expansion begins!!
